Steve, I just read your scifi.com interview, and I'm going to link to it on the RPG site just because I thought many of the things you said were fecking brilliant. But that's not what this is about. I noted that you said you hadn't seen a single fantasty film that was really worth watching. I'm wondering if you have seen PJ's Fellowship of the Ring, and whether that changed your mind at all, or whether you still feel the same way? I'm also curious what others on the list thought of the film. For me, as a lover of fantasy, I have to basically agree with you re: fantasy films. Which is not to say I don't enjoy re-watching Hollywood's attempts at fantasy films, because I do occasionally re-watch them - mostly for nostalgia, I think. I can say I enjoyed most of them, but that I always felt they fell short of what they "could/should" have been. -thinking- Of course, the fact that most of the fantasy films had good-looking men in them (remembering David Bowie's codpieces in Labyrinth)...but I digress! Ahem! ANYway....heh....was just curious how you (and everyone else on the list) felt about FotR. I'll see what others start saying before I make any comments of my own. Sheesh! I've been single waaaaaay too long. -grins- Stacy
